HRE Wheel Finish Quality-Poor?
My Satin Black HRE R101 LW which I presume are the creme de la creme of HRE's has a terrible finish. One of the spokes has chunks coming off which is leading me to believe that Wheels Boutique sold me refinished wheels which were done poorly or that the HRE finish itself sucks. The rest of the wheels have several tiny chips all over them.. I can understand the tiny chips from daily driving but the black finish actually flaking off in chunks?
Anybody have this issue?

Did you reach out to the vendor(s) before making this post?

No, Mom. I didn't reach out to the vendor. I'm attempting to gather data first because it may not be a vendor issue. Besides, there's nothing they can do for me at this point.

ive seen many hre wheels in person, their standard +$0 finishes like silver and black are usually mediocre at best. the custom ones like fog, stone, brushed, etc look amazing however

My Flow Form HRE's had an excellent finish considering they are the 'cheaper' HRE's. They were done in bronze although I did not own the car long so can't speak about longevity.

Not once have I had an issue with the finish on the wheels. If I did, I would have brought it to the attention to the dealer who sold to me and let the warranty process evolve.
